Dates for 2018:

18, 19, 20 and 21 August 2018

23, 24, 25 and 26 August 2018

Day 1 – Heading North

We depart Cape Town area and head North with the ever changing landscpapes for Clanwilliam to visit the Ramskop Flower Garden, a walk about the town and have lunch.Depending upon the state of the flowers in the Biedouw Valley we will either go there or continue onto Klawer for a quick wine taste before visiting the world famous Kokkerboom Nursery in Vanrhynsdorp for an educational guided tour. We overnight in Vanrhynsdorp and use the same accommodation as our base for the next three nights. The town is very conveniently situated to go in either direction for flowers – either to the North, West or to the East. An ideal situation as it enables one to plan each day accordingly especially if one has indifferent weather conditions in one area.

Day 2 – Nieuwoudtville – The bulb Capital of the world.

After an early breakfast we head on over the Knersvlakte up to Nieuwoudtville via the spectacular Vanrhyns Pass to Niewoudville, known as the bulb capital of the world where we will spend the day exploring this fascinating area visiting amongst other things the spectacular and unexpected Nieuwoudville waterfall, and the amazing Quiver Tree Forest with over 3000 trees! A visit to the farms Matjiesfontein and Papkuilsfontein will, without a doubt be another highlight. A visit to the local church hall to to enjoy some of the local pancakes is also a must! We return to Vanrhynsdorp to the same B & B. A full and memorable day!

Day 3 – The Knersvlakte to Garies and Kammieskroon

Depending how the flowers are up North in the Garies and Kammieskroon areas we will depart early after breakfast for anorher adventurous day! A visit to Skulpad in the Namaqua National Park will blow your mind with carpets of flowers as far as the eye can see. A real wall to wall experience which one finds difficult to explain to people! Seeing is believing!! A bit of travelling on this day but with the spectacular displays will make it all worthwhile. We head back to Vanrhynsdorp to the same B&B to overnight.

Day 4 – The West Coast back to Cape Town

We head back to Cape Town via the West Coast via the towns of Lamberts Bay, Elandsbaai to Veldrif and if time permits enjoy lunch in Partenoster or Langebaan depending upon where the flowers are showing. Historically this day will also be ANOTHER highlight as the flowers will follow us all the way to Cape Town.

Please take note:

As the flower tours are all dependent on nature and the weather conditions both before and during our tours, Redwood Tours and any of its personal cannot be held responsible both legally or otherwise if there is a change in the conditions which are out of our control.

It may occur that lack of seasonal rain at the right times, inclement overcast cold weather conditions or strong winds (or hot berg winds) during the flowering season could very much affect the the flower showings.
